The policy affects the contents of the archive mostly. It basically
says that anything in the archive stays there and can't be edited or
removed once it gets there. In other words there are no redactions
made after the post is committed.
Generally speaking though wanting to or actually removing/modifying
statements already made public draws extra attention and tends to
cause the opposite of what is intended.
